I have finally figured out how to stop Google from constantly flooding my computer with advertisements every few seconds. It was really getting on my nerves to have an ad pop up in the lower right hand side of my screen when I was trying to do something. I was afraid to remove Google from my computer because I have a gmail account but found that I can quickly access the email from another search engine. I removed Google from my computer and now all of the annoying ads have stopped. Google has become nothing but an ad agency and they do it in the most annoying way possible. I am much happier now that I am ad free.

You cannot swing a dead animal without hitting an advertisement. They are annoying, intrusive and constantly remind us of something we HAVE TO buy. But. Wait! Aren't we photographers? Many of us are professional and receive our Bread, Butter and Coffee this way. Just think about the last thing you bought and why. For whatever motivated you, a photographer was diligently working to create an unforgettable image. Most photographers are creative and use their talent to put food on their table and to be able to watch the evening television news. Oh wait, which TV should I buy? I guess I'll head down to the appliance store to buy a television and drive there in my.....what do you call that.....my new car!
Happy shooting!

We are still confronted with ads every time we turn around. Right now as I type this I see lenses at the bottom of the screen. I don't mind ads so much but the way Google was doing it really got on my nerves. I hate having those things pop up every few seconds when I am attempting to do something. It blocks part of the screen and breaks your concentration. I am much more at ease now without that irritation.

Advertisements are inevitable. Another solution altogether. Turn off your computer. You won't be bothered by advertisements. But if you do, you won't be able to read this text............
